Garden views

I'm trying to decide whether this looks potentially good or bloody rotten, but I think all will be improved with paint and with plants growing round everything. This will take some time, unfortunately.



Looks quite brown due to lack of rain. I struggle to keep them all watered.



Late winter bloomings

The first flowers on my May bush. Still so tiny in the yard.


Virtually unnoticeable, as yet! I'm hoping the tree goes big, strong, obstructive (of the road view) and full of flowers!

The pink flower below - it was gratifying to see her as I have had it in the ground for so long with little result. To see these made me hopeful. There hasn't been much rain although I've been watering the plants irregularly.



The first flower this season on the very dry looking galpinii vine. It's so dry - no rain for ages. It's a year since it flowered for the first time.


Looking decidedly browner and more struggling, the galpinii has one flower showing today 25 Sept 2018.



And the front fence at this section - I'm pleased to white bougy is growing ok. Would like to see more blue plumbago showing next to it. I cut out the lower branches, hoping to encourage taller growth - it seems to be coming along albeit slowly.


Ooo! Here's something unusual growing out of the potting mix packets! Taffy!
